This gene may play a role in apoptosis as these morphological abnormalities are caused Product Detail: by altered patterns of programmed cell death. The protein encoded by this gene is similar to the ubiquitin ligase domain of other ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes but lacks the conserved cysteine residue that enables those enzymes to conjugate ubiquitin to the target protein. This protein interacts directly with serine/threonine kinase protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt and modulates PKB activity by enhancing the phosphorylation of PKB's regulatory sites. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Function: Component of the FTS/Hook/FHIP complex (FHF complex). The FHF complex may function to promote vesicle trafficking and/or fusion via the homotypic vesicular protein sorting complex (the HOPS complex). Regulates apoptosis by enhancing phosphorylation and activation of AKT1. Increases release of TNFSF6 via the AKT1/GSK3B/NFATC1 signaling cascade. Subunit: Component of the FTS/Hook/FHIP complex (FHF complex), composed of AKTIP/FTS, FAM160A2, and one or more members of the Hook family of proteins HOOK1, HOOK2, and HOOK3. May interact directly with HOOK1, HOOK2 and HOOK3. The FHF complex associates with the homotypic vesicular sorting complex (the HOPS complex). Also interacts with AKT1. Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Similarity: Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. FTS subfamily.

In previous research, we identified 13 genomic regions that were significantly associated with the serum IgY level or antibody responses to sheep red-blood-cells, but the specific mutations in these regions have not been reported. Therefore, we screened for variations in these regions in White Leghorn and Beijing-You chickens with high and low IgY. Our study identified 35,154 mutations and 829 Indels which were associated with IgY levels in both lines.

Transcriptome Sequencing and Genome-Wide Association Analyses Reveal Lysosomal Function and Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
Molecular Psychiatry (2015) 20, 563–572 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/15 www.nature.com/mp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Transcriptome sequencing and genome-wide association analyses reveal lysosomal function and actin cytoskeleton remodeling in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder Z Zhao1,6,JXu2,6, J Chen3,6, S Kim4, M Reimers3, S-A Bacanu3,HYu1, C Liu5, J Sun1, Q Wang1, P Jia1,FXu2, Y Zhang2, KS Kendler3, Z Peng2 and X Chen3 Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BPD) are severe mental disorders with high heritability. Clinicians have long noticed the similarities of clinic symptoms between these disorders. In recent years, accumulating evidence indicates some shared genetic liabilities. However, what is shared remains elusive. In this study, we conducted whole transcriptome analysis of post-mortem brain tissues (cingulate cortex) from SCZ, BPD and control subjects, and identiﬁed differentially expressed genes in these disorders. We found 105 and 153 genes differentially expressed in SCZ and BPD, respectively. By comparing the t-test scores, we found that many of the genes differentially expressed in SCZ and BPD are concordant in their expression level (q ⩽ 0.01, 53 genes; q ⩽ 0.05, 213 genes; q ⩽ 0.1, 885 genes). Using genome-wide association data from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, we found that these differentially and concordantly expressed genes were enriched in association signals for both SCZ (Po10 − 7) and BPD (P = 0.029). To our knowledge, this is the ﬁrst time that a substantially large number of genes show concordant expression and association for both SCZ and BPD. Pathway analyses of these genes indicated that they are involved in the lysosome, Fc gamma receptor-mediated phagocytosis, regulation of actin cytoskeleton pathways, along with several cancer pathways.

Mouse Aktip Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Aktip Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Aktip conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Aktip gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001302267 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000031667 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 8. 11 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 3 and the TAA stop codon in exon 11 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000120213). Exon 4 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Aktip gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-149I24 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic allele exhibit impaired growth, skeletal and skin defects, abnormal heart tissue, and sterility. Exon 4 starts from about 4.91% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 4 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 3 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1235 bp, and the size of intron 4 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 2670 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~706 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

These transcripts include messenger RNAs (which encode for proteins) and microRNAs, short RNAs that play an important regulatory role in cellular networks. While this data is a great resource for reconstructing the activity of networks in cells, it also presents several computational challenges. These challenges include the data collection stage which often results in incomplete and noisy measurement, developing methods to integrate several experiments within and across species, and designing methods that can use this data to map the interactions and networks that are activated in specific conditions.

Abstract: Prostate cancer (PCa) progression is characterized by the emergence of resistance to andro- gen deprivation therapy (ADT). AKT/PKB has been directly implicated in PCa progression, often due to the loss of PTEN and activation of PI3K>PDK1>AKT signaling. However, the regulatory network of AKT remains incompletely defined. Here, we describe the functional significance of AKTIP in PCa cell growth. AKTIP, identified in an interactome analysis as a substrate of TLK1B (that itself is ele- vated following ADT), enhances the association of AKT with PDK1 and its phosphorylation at T308 and S473. The interaction between TLK1 and AKTIP led to AKTIP phosphorylation at T22 and S237. The inactivation of TLK1 led to reduced AKT phosphorylation, which was potentiated with AKTIP knockdown. The TLK1 inhibitor J54 inhibited the growth of the LNCaP cells attributed to reduced AKT activation. However, LNCaP cells that expressed constitutively active, membrane-enriched Citation: Khalil, M.I.; Madere, C.; Myr-AKT (which is expected to be active, even in the absence of AKTIP) were also growth-inhibited Ghosh, I.; Adam, R.M.; De Benedetti, A.

Benefits and Harms of the Mediterranean Diet Evidence-based Synthesis Program Compared to Other Diets PREFACE The VA Evidence-based Synthesis Program (ESP) was established in 2007 to provide timely and accurate syntheses of targeted healthcare topics of particular importance to clinicians, managers, and policymakers as they work to improve the health and healthcare of Veterans. QUERI provides funding for four ESP Centers, and each Center has an active University affiliation. Center Directors are recognized leaders in the field of evidence synthesis with close ties to the AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Centers. The ESP is governed by a Steering Committee comprised of participants from VHA Policy, Program, and Operations Offices, VISN leadership, field-based investigators, and others as designated appropriate by QUERI/HSR&D. The ESP Centers generate evidence syntheses on important clinical practice topics. These reports help: · Develop clinical policies informed by evidence; · Implement effective services to improve patient outcomes and to support VA clinical practice guidelines and performance measures; and · Set the direction for future research to address gaps in clinical knowledge.
